... and HEAVY!

Stihl markets several different ground helmets with different ear defenders. Some are made by Peltor (3M), some are made by others. Different mounting systems, too. But if you are not getting along with Peltor ear defendors and Stihl helmet fit, then I guess Husqvarna helmets is worth a try.
-
If you let us know what you don't like about the STIHL helmet, and why, it would be easier to give you good alternatives.

I would disagree. The most important thing for Google indexing is that the content has the right keywords and is designed in such a way that it makes sense to the search bots, as per Google SEO guide.

You should read Google's SEO guide https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35291?hl=en Mostly to ensure that you design the content (headers, page title, URL, links) in such a way that Google search bots discovers your content and keywords the way you intend them to. It's also worth listing your business with Google Places for Business, see https://www.google.com/business/placesforbusiness/ Finally, make sure you enable your site for Google Analytics, so you can see who is visiting your site, how they navigate, and how they arrive on your site (searches, links etc). All of the above is free of charge

You need protective boots, trousers and a helmet with visor and ear defenders. But as importantly, you need to learn safe working practices. Stay safe!

Make sure the chain catcher is intact on the saw and don't bother with PPE jackets or gloves!

I have had a 261 for two years now. Not had a problem with it, except I find the acceleration and deceleration a little slow (and slower than my old 260). It's a decent saw. I like the Husky 550 too, but know that many people have had problems with it, especially with the AutoTune and break bands. The 261 is getting a bit of a bad rap in this forum, IMHO

You should be aware that beech does not last long when exposed outdoors. Rots very quickly.

Are you talking about this "Husqvarna" saw? Husquarna BKS 546e petrol chainsaw | eBay Only used once, but with a totally worn-out sword. Looks NOTHING like a Husky saw. Stay well away!

Information about Gränsfors axes: Gränsfors Bruk | Quality Axes since 1902 And a video made by a visitor who was given a tour around the facilities... Gransfors Bruks Axe Forge Tour - YouTube

I would love to see a picture, or even better, a video showing how you lengthen/shorten the strop. - Can you lengthen one-handed? - Do you shorten by pulling on the stopper knot?
-
Fixed that for you

Use wool detergent and wash the rope on a wool program (more gentle, slower spin cycle).
-
I recommend washing and drying the rope while daisy chained, to avoid spending time untangling and ensuring that the rope is not bunched up slowing the drying process.

I believe you'll need a block with a diameter of at least 10 cm for the 11.5 mm wire cable that is used by the Tirfor TU16. But I agree that a block is by far the most sensible solution to the problem.

If you are into mechanical devices, you have these options: * Petzl ZigZag ZIGZAG® | Petzl * ART SpiderJack SpiderJack | ART * ART LockJack LockJack | ART The LockJack is the only one that can be installed mid-line

Just use your personal account to set up a Page for your business. You can then administer that page, and people can "Like" it. If you want, you can set up the page to allow other people to also administer, and for everyone to post and ask questions etc. All free. Or rather, you pay by letting Facebook know even more about you, your company, and who you are dealing with, but that is the way things are going, now. Facebook and Google knows so much about you, that it's really scary, and they are making loads of money using that knowledge to target ads at you and the people you deal with.

Just as a curiosity... In addition to Aspen 2T and STIHL MotoMix, Statoil also refines and sells Alkylate fuel premixed with 2% two stroke oil. I have no idea whether they actually sell it in the UK, though. For details on Statoil's alkylate fuel, refer to https://external.statoilfuelretail.com/mar/svg01184.nsf/design/lub_pds/$file/Alkylate_Gasoline_TwoSTR.pdf.pdf
-
STIHL MotoMix has the same beneficial properties as Aspen does (long storage life, lower health risk, does not dissolve tube/diaphragms), and the same disadvantage (price). They are both Alkylate fuels with added 2-stroke oil, and no added ethanol. You can switch between them at will, in much the same way as you can switch between two brands of normal pump petrol.

what he said Also, the aluminium Gecko's are adjustable length, whereas the carbon ones are not.
-
When using a drying oil (such as linseed- and tung oil), you have to give it plenty of time, exposed to oxygen to cure/dry/harden, before putting in hot liquid. Otherwise you will just dissolve the newly applied oil. Drying oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

3-5 years, according to Aspen Common questions and answers - en.aspen.se

I have sent you a PM with a link to the STIHL MS 171 Service Manual. See section 14.5 regarding carb adjustment. This link is also good for info about adjusting the carburetor http://www.madsens1.com/saw_carb_tune.htm
